Cricket_Hacker Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 India vs England,1st Test,Trent bridge July 9-13, 2014 Start time 1100 local (1000 GMT) Squads India: MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), M Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Ishwar Pandey, Ishant Sharma, Stuart Binny, Varun Aaron, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Pankaj Singh England Alastair Cook (capt), Sam Robson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Matt Prior, Chris Jordan, Stuart Broad, Liam Plunkett, James Anderson, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes, Jos Butler Pitch and Conditions This may be James Anderson's favourite venue but the Trent Bridge curator does not want teams bowled out for 180. There will be bounce as the surface is hard but movement will depend on how much grass - dry and brown - is left on the pitch. The surface is hard but without much moisture beneath. As always in England, overhead conditions will play a key role. The first day is forecast to be cloudy, with some rain expected over the next four days. Form India: DLLDW England: LDLLL Likely Starting XI India: MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), M Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Stuart Binny England Alastair Cook (capt), Sam Robson, Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Matt Prior, Ben Stokes, Stuart Broad, Liam Plunkett, James Anderson Quotes "If I compare between the first Test we played in South Africa and the last Test we played in New Zealand there has been considerable improvement. You know, it's the right way of moving ahead." India captain MS Dhoni "I think playing a domestic game as a warm-up is a very, very different thing to playing a Test match. Certainly Duncan Fletcher always viewed them as warm-ups - that's how we did it when he was coach - so I wouldn't read too much into what happened." England captain Alastair Cook is not lulled into a false sense of security seeing how India's bowlers went in Derby and Leicester Link to comment
BlueBee Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The pic of pitch you posted, it hasn't been fully prepared. I expect grasses to be cut down. It's a very good batting track, with little or no help for pacers. Link to comment
